Woman shocked after man allegedly threatens to set her and her son on fire in Calgary

CA, 12 Jul 2022
A Calgary mother is still in disbelief after she and her son were approached by a man who she said threatened to set them on fire.

Kerri Singh and her 14-year-old son were walking in downtown Calgary on Friday at around 5:30 p.m., when she said a man came up to them carrying a plastic bottle and a lighter.

“He said: ‘I’m not kidding.’ He pulled a gasoline container in my face, very close. I could smell it,” Singh said. “He said, ‘who’s going to get lit first?… This is gasoline and I’m going to start you on fire.'”

As Carolyn Kury de Castillo reports, the terrifying incident may have been hate motivated.
